Contest prep.. Peak week: Carb load or carb deplete

livetolift97

So I've been dieting for about 12 weeks now. Gruesome, hard, hellacious diet. Right now im at 275 protein, 44 g of carbs, and 60 g of fat a day, at roughly 1850 calories. I'm 16 & I'm 24 days out from my first show so I don't have the experience that most there will have. I need to know opinions on peak week. To carb load, carb cycle, carb deplete or what?

Used this for my peak week. Recommends carbing up at the beginning of the week and tapering down depending on how you fill out.

Question: Why are your carbs so low now if your 3 weeks out?

It's a lifestyle change, if you can't do it for the rest of your life, then you shouldn't do it now.

On a serious note, the bodybuilding.com forums are a much better place to ask about contest prep.
